Years ago I had the opportunity to meet a girl who reinforced my understanding of the power of belief. She was   36   the most powerful person I had ever met. I met Chris for the first time while taking the Dale Carnegie   37  in California.
Our class had already been going for quite some time when   38  , supported by metal crutches（拐杖）,   39    herself in. Chris had cerebral palsy（大脑性麻痹）. She had many   40  in communicating with others. This was not due to   41   of desire, but because most of her twenty-one years of life she had been kept in a room with no more than Elvis records and tapes to   42   her. No one had taken the time to assist her in developing the ability to   43  . It was Bonnie, her current caretaker, who   44   there was much more to Chris than anyone else gave her credit for.
When asked by the instructor what her goal   45   the twelve-week course was, Chris struggled to respond and became frustrated and   46  in the process. For most of her   47  nobody would listen to her. The only way she knew to get someone to   48   was through temper outbursts. With Bonnie as her interpreter, Chris conveyed that her   49   was to be able to stand by herself in front of forty-five people and tell us about herself.
On the twelfth week, Chris stood in front of the room and   50   with us, in her own words, what her life had been like. It was one of the most beautiful and enlightening experiences I had ever   51  . Though as a girl who had in many ways been   52  , she believed that she could __53__ more in her life and she did. And she also had the love and support of forty-five friends, who, just weeks before, had been   54   strangers.
What we all witnessed through Chris’ courage is that life is   55   moment by moment, based on our beliefs, which are relevant to both our personal and professional direction and have the power to make our wildest dreams come true.
